his speaker john boehner is certainly not this charge. that leads to chris christie and rush limbaugh. the take charge governor who's getting from democrats versus the hard right radio show talk show host. how does this gop movie end? joining me now is melina, contributor to "the grio" and margie omaro. the gop has a real rush problem. how do you see this ending? >> i don't mow. in 2009 james carville did a poll and found that rush limbaugh -- many people find that rush limbaugh is the leader of the republican party and that has not changed over the course of four years. rush doesn't need to run for any office. he's beholden to no one except for advertisers and viewers. so republican officials need to stand up to limbaugh first before they can really go out and get more votes in the broader sector of the electorate. >> but margie, is it risky for a republican to stand up to limbaugh when he's popular in the vote unless the chris stooer example of standing up on the president and doing his job becomes a new model for our republicans to say

your response to rush limbaugh, quote, john boehner comes out and says rush's language was inappropriate using the salad fork for your entry. that's inappropriate. not this stuff. and it was depressing because what it indicates is that the republican leaders are afraid of rush limbaugh. do you have any response? >> and the point is? i thought what rush said was inappropriate. >> and last night, willard romney had the chance to show some leadership and failed again. >> i'm not going to weigh in on that particular controversy. >> of course, sarah palin is defending him. she's weighed in for rush. >> the definition of hypocrisy is for rush limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is that he said in exercising his first amendment rights and never is that the same applied to the leftist radicals who say such horrible things about the handic handicapped, about women, about the defenseless, so i think that's the definition of hypocrisy, and that's my two cents worth. >> this is a stunning failure of leadership from republicans. they are scared of rush limbaugh.
